I took it to a fiberglass shop with a stock AC vent for reference and a 2 1/16" gauge and had her fill in/redo the holes so they pointed in the right direction and make the hoods that come out with them.
It's an absolute one off custom deal, but it could be easily recreated by someone with a decent amount of fiberglass skill.
Glad to see people like it.
And oh ya, the black fuzzy dice will never die. They were there when I bought the car, and aside from the ebrake handle it's the only thing left that hasn't been changed.
Congratulations by your car,this colour interior and dash are rally awsome.Here in Brazil are very rare to find it...

That's some nice custom work. I think I might have to start an interior project.

I've never been to Atlanta. I've been told it's a beautiful city.
About the Miami weather...well, this last winter, it was so cold, we had a couple of days when the temperature was as low as...50 degrees F!!!
But now, in the summer...have you ever stepped into an oven?

ya wow poor baby. Go cry yourself to sleep.
My mx-3 might not be the nicest on this site, but I bet there's very few that start without a block heater, first crank at -40C. Not to mention you gotta walk to the car when it's -55 with the windchill. The hottest day we've had here is 35C without a breeze, this summer. I'm ok with our winters, because if you're cold you can put on more clothes. I've been to Florida, and the humidity kills me.

I don't mind Florida weather...or at least the temperature.
I've never experienced -40/-55°C, and I'm not interested on trying it. Back in Buenos Aires, the coldest I've ever had was -10°C, and the hottest 43°C, always with a humidity that very rarely goes under 80%. What I don't like is having rain every day for more than 2 months straight, like we had this year.
Anyways, to go back to the original point I wanted to make with the post about the Florida weather, I would NEVER get rid of an A/C vent, let alone the whole A/C system.
Hppwdn: sorry I missed your post. I can't go to Flyrtle. I don't have a car (my last MX-3 was just stolen a few months ago).
Maybe next time...
